How Do You See Yourself?

The world is changing around us due to shifts in everything from communication technologies to commodity chains. This course will have students identify their own customs and practices, relate them to those of others, and the world-wide diffusion of cultural tastes. Finally, ways in which people are tied together around the globe and forms of resistance to change and uniformity will be explored.

This seminar is tentatively scheduled to meet during Full Session on W from 1;25 pm - 2:15 pm.

Note: Please check the official timetable for the most up-to-date information about meeting times and locations and availability.
